And then I met Rev. Jesse Jackson (or Inauguration Party 1 of 36)

I realize that I have dropped off the face of the earth for the past few days, but when you live less than 3 miles from the White House and history is happening in your city, you just have to go and worry about life later.

To begin our recap of the last week, we start with Saturday night, when I went to a party thrown by a board member of a nonprofit where a friend works.  The party was less than a block from the White House and full of many political folks I probably should have recognized.  While enjoying my first bite of hummus covered carrot, Rev. Jesse Jackson turned to introduce himself. Then, he gave a speech. Then, he took this picture with us. And that is how my inauguration week began.

Stay tuned for more!
